Well integrated with other microsoft services and products with high customer support.

The UI can be a bit confusing to navigate for a novice user. Also the pricing is on a higher end when compared to other cloud solutions providers. Also it keeps on suggesting to use RBACs and other azure managed features to increase the security score which eventually leads to increase in cost. These are the few things that I dislike about azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure is solving a lot of problems like providing azure managed cosmos DBs which are easy to scale and monitor. We have our entire kubernetes architecture on azure which is undoubtedly very efficient. The virtual machines are very useful for us as we have hosted our wordpress servers, our entire ELK setup and our VPN setup on the azure managed VMs. These are the areas in which it is benefiting us.

Azure Blob storage is solving a great deal of problems for us. Apart from letting us store objects or documents in the form of blobs in it for easy retrieval as abd when required, it also allows us integrate it with a large number of applications. I use it for database migration from 1 database to another as an intermediate point. It also allows seamless integration with the azure data factory which is very helpful when we have to copy raw data from Azure cosmos DBs and store it somewhere.
